Phillips Hall Resident Assistants

When the new students arrived Saturday to move into the residence halls, they were greeted with several campus improvements. Receiving a much needed facelift was Phillips Hall -- one of the original three buildings that date to Lindsey Wilson's founding in 1903. From left to right: Phillips Hall Resident Assistants Victoria Kennedy from Shepherdsville, Ky.; Gabrielle Wagner from Mount Vernon, Ky.; Haven Crawford from Louisville, Ky.; Haemin Choi from South Korea; Christina Speck from Albany, Ky.; and Women's Resident Director Shelby Herchenrader from Louisville, Ky. Phillips Hall is reserved for female freshmen students.

Sapp and Latarte

Elementary school friends and Louisville, Ky., freshmen Maia Sapp, right, and Jade Latarte said that applying for college during the pandemic made things slower than usual and a bit "scarier." Sapp and Latarte are living in the newly renovated Phillips Hall, one of the oldest buildings on the A.P. White Campus. Included in the renovation: new carpet, ceiling tiles and lighting throughout the dorm; the remodel of four bathrooms; and new sinks, backsplashes, wardrobes and smoke detectors in each room. The fall 2021 semester began on Monday, August 30.

Fields and Hendricks

Roommates and teammates Elijah Fields, left, from Pikeville, Ky., and Matthew Hendricks from Shepherdsville, Ky., texted one another before move-in day but met for the first time during check in. The new freshmen will live in Horton Hall and plan to be a part of the LWC wrestling program. All LWC athletic programs will follow CDC protocols and follow the guidelines for competitions outlined by the NAIA and the Mid-South Conference.
